We divide 78965871 by 142
The aim is to understand the frequency of 142 in 78965871.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 142 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 142

Advancing to step 2:
142 goes into 78 0 times with a remainder of 78.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 78, we get 78.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 789 / 142

On to step 3:
The number 142 fits into 789 5 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 710 from 789.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 79 and continue with: 796 / 142

Step 4:
If we divide 796 by 142, we get 5 and a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 710 from 796 and we're left with 86.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 865 / 142

Let's proceed to step 5:
865 divided by 142 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 556.0
If we subtract 852 from 865, we get 13.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 142

Advancing to step 6:
138 divided by 142 is 0 with a remainder of 138.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5560.0
The remainder is 138 after subtracting 0 from 138.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 138, then repeat: 1387 / 142

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 142 fits into 1387 9 times, leaving a remainder of 109.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55609.0
The remainder is 109 after subtracting 1278 from 1387.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 109, then repeat: 1091 / 142

On to step 8:
When dividing 1091 by 142, we get 7 with a remainder of 97.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 556097.0
Subtract 994 from 1091 to get 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
142 can be fit into 970 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 118.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 556097.6
Subtract 852 from 970 to get 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 142 fits into 1180 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 556097.68
Subtract 1136 from 1180 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 142, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 556097.683
Deduct 426 from 440 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 142, we get 0 with a remainder of 140.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 556097.683
If we take 0 away from 140, we end up with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
142 goes into 1400 9 times with a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 556097.68309
Subtracting 1278 from 1400 leaves us with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 142 fits into 1220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 556097.683098
Deduct 1136 from 1220 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 840 by 142, we get 5 and a remainder of 130.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 556097.6830985
If we subtract 710 from 840, we get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
142 can be fit into 1300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 556097.68309859
Subtracting 1278 from 1300 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 556097.68309859 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
